TRIVERGENCE

7The Trivergence in Action

At this point in our journey, I have provided a detailed account of the three essential components of the Trivergence. Individually, AI, blockchain, and the IoT have already made significant waves in their respective domains.

Deep learning AI, the late bloomer, emerged from the depths of academics into a household word in 2023. Modeled on the human brain, it possesses the ability to learn, reason, and make decisions like its human creators. With its insatiable hunger for data and its uncanny knack for pattern recognition, AI has ushered in a new era of intelligent automation, transforming industries one algorithm at a time.

On a parallel path, blockchain has demonstrated the ability to be an incorruptible guardian of trust and transparency. However, as blockchains enter their second decade, we have seen some fascinating implementations of this novel technology, as well as the collapse of some proprietary, permissioned, or poorly engineered solutions. Properly implemented blockchain ledger technology can ensure that every transaction and record is securely stored, immutably recorded, and accessible to all participants in a network. It holds the promise of revolutionizing finance, supply chains, and even governance itself.

Meanwhile, the IoT is weaving its web of interconnectedness. Everyday objects are transforming into intelligent entities connected to a vast digital network. From smart homes to smart cities, sensors and devices are generating a deluge ...
